CBS Puts Partners Out of Its Misery

In our story yesterday about why MobDoc™ and Partners were still on the air, we noted that "this week's worst-yet ratings for Partners — and the impact its poor lead-in numbers are having on its follow-up, 2 Broke Girls — has some industry insiders wondering just how much longer [CBS chief Nina] Tassler will continue to be patient." Turns out the answer was: Less than 24 hours. The Eye has just pulled the comedy from its lineup, effective immediately. Repeats of higher-rated CBS sitcoms will air in the 8:30 p.m. Monday timeslot for the next few weeks, with a replacement debuting in early January.

We understand the reasons for blocking, but Vulture depends on ads to pay our writers and editors. We're working hard to improve the ad experience on our site, but in the mean time, we'd really appreciate it if you added us to the approved list in your ad blocker. Thanks for the support!
